Thanks to National Theatre for a fantastic Othello conference, to Clint Dyer for answering our pedestal question, and HSLC English Team Literature Sixth Form & Mr L for their excellent company and thoughtful debate - which is still continuing on the train. I love my job.

Thanks to the generosity of the Hornsea Lions, Y13 & Y12 English Literature students were able to seize the opportunity to return to London for an ‘Othello’ workshop with the director, production team and cast, exploring the key themes of race, tragedy and misogyny.

Hornsea School Thanks to The National Theatre, and especially Clint Dyer and team for sharing how much goes into such an incredible, thought-provoking and timely production.
